Intake and Release - San Francisco County Jail #9

When a defendant is first arrested in San Francisco County, they are usually brought to County Jail # 9, located at 425 7th St., San Francisco where they are booked and processed. This process can take up to several hours to complete.

The location is known as the “Intake and Release Center" (IRC). Such "IRC" facilities are common in larger counties where a centralized processing of inmates is highly beneficial. There, the defendants’ information is entered into the jail’s computer system.

The booking process generally consists of photographing, fingerprinting and so on. This information is also entered into a nation-wide computer database for a background check.

After the booking process is completed, defendants may remain at this facility, or they may be transferred to one of the other county jails.

Opened in 1994, San Francisco County Jail #8 and #9 are located at the same address: 425 7th St., San Francisco and are next to the Hall of Justice.

The facility is known as the "Glamor Slammer". The building has a very dramatic and contemporary architectural design that fits in well with the city’s landscape.

County Jail #8 primarily holds post-conviction prisoners, but also houses all female prisoner. This direct supervision facility has become a national model for program-oriented prisoner rehabilitation. Some 400 inmates participate in G.E.D., E.S.L. programs, alcohol and drug abuse counseling, along with family counseling/support groups.

At the time of arrest and booking, bail is set according to a published bail schedule established by a panel of judges.

San Francisco Jail Housing

After initial booking, defendants are housed at one of the County's jails. Generally, pre-trial defendants (those awaiting trial) stay at the Bryant Street Central Jail on the 6th floor of the Hall of Justice. Others are sent to County Jail #2, located on the 7th Floor.

Ward 7D/7L - San Francisco General Hospital

Another of the San Francisco County jails is located in ward 7D/7L in San Francisco General Hospital, which caters to defendants with medical or mental issues.

Because it is the only Level I Trauma Center in the area, the hospital maintains a high patient volume and is usually on a constant "Total Divert" status, which means that incoming emergency patients (with the exception of trauma, psychiatric, pediatrics, and OBGYN) are diverted to other nearby hospitals.

San Bruno Jail

The newest San Francisco jail complex is not located in San Francisco, but in an unincorporated part of San Mateo County between Pacifica and San Bruno at 1 Moreland Drive. This new facility opened in 2006 and is named County Jail #5. It replaced the Old County Jail #3, which at the time of closing held the distinction of being oldest operating county jail in California. County Jail #3 stands vacant and will soon be demolished.

Visiting a Prisoner

Visiting at County Jail #1, County Jail #2 (Hall of Justice) and County Jail #5 (San Bruno) can be arranged by making advance phone reservation. Visiting at County Jail #8 is arranged by signing up in person on visiting day morning.

Visiting is held at each jail on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Visitors may bring money to leave on a prisoner’s account but they are not allowed to bring him/her any personal items.

Visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian. Children cannot be left unattended at any time.

Visitors must be prepared to show a valid ID with a current photograph, that has a name, address, and date of birth.

All visitors are subject to a search.

Visitors who are inappropriately dressed (gang related clothing, hairstyles, or graffiti) will be denied visits.

Visitors who appear to be under the influence or cause a disturbance also will not be allowed to visit and future visits may be denied.

Attorneys and bail bondsmen are allowed to visit their clients in a confidential setting at any time except during meals and count time.
